² And so that you may be able to give to your son and to your son's son the story of my wonders in Egypt, and the signs which I have done among them; so that you may see that I am the Lord.

³ Give the story of it to your children, and let them give it to their children, and their children to another generation.

⁹ Only take care, and keep watch on your soul, for fear that the things which your eyes have seen go from your memory and from your heart all the days of your life; but let the knowledge of them be given to your children and to your children's children;

¹⁴ And when your son says to you in time to come, What is the reason for this? say to him, By the strength of his hand the Lord took us out of Egypt, out of the prison-house:

¹ <To the chief music-maker. Of the sons of Korah Maschil.> It has come to our ears, O God, our fathers have given us the story, of the works which you did in their days, in the old times,

¹⁷ So the Lord says, By this you may be certain that I am the Lord; see, by the touch of this rod in my hand the waters of the Nile will be turned to blood;

⁵ He put up a witness in Jacob, and made a law in Israel; which he gave to our fathers so that they might give knowledge of them to their children;

⁶ So that the generation to come might have knowledge of them, even the children of the future, who would give word of them to their children;

²⁰ And when your son says to you in time to come, What is the reason for these rules and laws and decisions which the Lord our God has given you?

²¹ Then you will say to your son, We were servants under Pharaoh's yoke in Egypt; and the Lord took us out of Egypt with a strong hand:

²² And the Lord did great signs and wonders against Egypt, and against Pharaoh and all his house, before our eyes:

⁴ And, you fathers, do not make your children angry: but give them training in the teaching and fear of the Lord.

²⁸ For when I had taken them into the land which I made an oath to give to them, then they saw every high hill and every branching tree and made their offerings there, moving me to wrath by their offerings; and there the sweet smell of their offerings went up and their drink offerings were drained out.

²⁶ I made them unclean in the offerings they gave, causing them to make every first child go through the fire, so that I might put an end to them.

¹⁸ Now when I am old and grey-headed, O God, give me not up; till I have made clear your strength to this generation, and your power to all those to come.

¹¹ So that men will say, Truly there is a reward for righteousness; truly there is a God who is judge on the earth.

⁸ And you will say to your son in that day, It is because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt.

⁹ And this will be for a sign to you on your hand and for a mark on your brow, so that the law of the Lord may be in your mouth: for with a strong hand the Lord took you out of Egypt.

²⁶ And when your children say to you, What is the reason of this act of worship?

²⁷ Then you will say, This is the offering of the Lord's Passover; for he went over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he sent death on the Egyptians, and kept our families safe. And the people gave worship with bent heads.
